Starbucks' new "Unicorn Frappuccino" has made waves on the internet for its colorful presentation, but a Connecticut health department is trying to draw attention to the large amount of sugar found in the purple-pink drink.

On Friday, the Stratford Health Department called out the newest Starbucks treat on Facebook. The post read, "While the Unicorn Frappuccino may be pretty to look at, it's loaded with 59 grams of sugar! That is over two times the amount of sugar recommended by the American Heart Association!"

Despite the high sugar content, Starbucks lovers are taking the unicorn craze a step further, according to the "Today" show. One Reddit user posted a photo of a colorful lemonade that she said she made with Starbucks coworkers from the powders of the Unicorn Frappuccino. The photo has since been deleted, but photos of similar creations were also posted by Instagram users.

The lemonade drink is not on the official Starbucks menu, and the Unicorn Frappuccino is only available for a limited time.
